Approximately 1460 species of spiders have been reported from Canada, 3% of the global
fauna. This study provides a DNA barcode reference library for 1018 of these species based …

Recent estimates suggest that the global insect fauna includes fewer than six million
species, but this projection is very uncertain because taxonomic work has been limited on …

Many of the arthropod species that are important pests of agriculture and forestry are
impossible to discriminate morphologically throughout all of their life stages. Some cannot …

With 400 K described species, beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) represent the most diverse
order in the animal kingdom. Although the study of their diversity currently represents a …

This study examines the performance of DNA barcodes (mt cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene) in
the identification of 1004 species of Lepidoptera shared by two localities (Finland, Austria) …

Study of all flies (Diptera) collected for one year from a four-hectare (150 x 266 meter) patch
of cloud forest at 1,600 meters above sea level at Zurquí de Moravia, San José Province …

DNA barcoding using a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene
(COI) has proven to be successful for species-level identification in many animal groups …

In recent years, DNA barcoding has rapidly developed as a powerful tool in taxonomy,
demonstrating its value in species identification and discovery of cryptic diversity. The …

Interception of potential invasive species at ports-of-entry is essential for effective biosecurity
and biosurveillance programs. However, taxonomic assessment of the immature stages of …

Abstract Eriophyoid mites (Acari: Eriophyoidea) are among the smallest of terrestrial
arthropods and the most species‐rich group of herbivorous mites with a high host specificity …
